2:30pm - There isn't much going on today to even log.

- I started @ home this morning by noticing Sitescope sent warnings about all of the servers on texoma.� At first I thought they probably just reported because the network�hiccupped or somesuch, but I was wrong.� All of the machines on Texoma were powered down, that means all of dev portal app was down.

- VC on Fairbanks was up, texoma still connected so I ssh out to see if it rebooted but it reported up 6 days. (since power failure)� message logs show disk errors.� I started powering the VMs back up in order, but they all shut off again every time the disk errors came by in the log.

- SMS to Slick: �'Houston, we've had a problem."

- Talked with Slick about it and we got in and looked around but all we could see were the disk errors.� I powered the VMs up again and this time they continued to run.� I took a few minutes to set a boot order for the VM's in case this happens again, talked to Country Boy and asked him to re-start the applications.

-- Discussed LDAP with Hooper a couple of times, we decided to move the cut over to Monday due to concers he has with TLS.� Late in the day he got it working and confirmed that we can do a cutover on Monday as long as we can bounce the servers once.

- Not much going on today.� The day before a long weekend, everyone bails around 2 or 3pm.�

I love my job.

    CORALINE's Interests:

    About Me: Little Plastic Castle is an extension of This Child's Life which is not hosted at inboxjournal. This blog will make little sense to anyone other than myself. It's a stream of consciousness log of what I do on a daily basis in my job as a UNIX computer systems engineer. o/~ "They say goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine...so the little plastic castle is a surprise every time, and its hard to say if they're happy, but they don't seem much to mind." o/~ I endeavor to respect confidentiality and thus I use nicknames for the people I work with. (Mr. T, Ratface, Jerry, Cartman, Grandpa Simpson, Slick, and so on.) I drop system names in here and abbreviations, but any note that requires something like a FQDN will always be marked private. You can comment if you like, but I'll only respond if I feel like it.

    Interests: Cast of Characters: Just a few of the names I use for people, this is the nickname and what their job responsibility is. Mr. T - My Direct Manager (Engineering) Slick - ESX Specialist Cartman - Network Engineering Lead Grandpa Simpson - Network Engineer Becky - WebSphere Engineer Ratface - Developer/Architect Jerry - Project Manager (BTI) Matt T. - Project Manager (Blackbird) The Martian - Application Developer AVP Ice Queen - Engineering AVP Chez - Assistant to Ice Queen Watts - Engineering/Development Sr. Mgr.
